It is.
Zero bars of 4G can be equivalent to 3 bars of 3G as well.
However as I like to say, bars mean nothing.

Rubbish.
Your calls do not go silent or cut off as a result of poor 4G signal. Current 4G networks are incapable of handling phone calls. Since it's impossible to make phone calls on 4G, your call problems have nothing to do with your 4G signal.
4G works just fine with one "bar" of signal. In fact it usually works better than 3G, and continues working even after 3G has cut off completely.
That's despite 4G currently being run at much lower transmitter power levels, because you can't make phone calls on 4G.

Just like to know how people are finding it. as my contract with vodafone is coming to a end there 3G service has been crap last couple months. like to hear from someone in HP12 area how they finding EE coverage in area

Have you checked EE's coverage map? It's fairly accurate.
Their coverage anywhere you can get 4G at present is very good. And their actual list of places where you can get 4G at present is miles ahead of other networks.
As for speed and performance it's been reducing a bit over the last year, but still much faster than any 3G service. Reliability and responsiveness when you have poor signal is a huge amount better on 4G so ignore any scare talk of low "bars" - for one, they're measured completely differently.
As for Sodafone 3G being terrible - that's something that should improve with 4G rollout. All Sodafone 4G masts will also result in upgrading of their 3G masts to provide better coverage, speed, and reliability but the current coverage areas are very limited.
